C2301 Citroen C OBD Code

OBD/2 C2301 error code description and symptoms.

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch allows the engine's control module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) to use hydraulic fluid to engage the clutches in the transmission to allow for smoother shifting while driving. If the PCM or TCM detects an issue with the hydraulic clutch or the pressure switch, the PCM or TCM will set code C2301

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C2301, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C2301 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

C2301 Citroen C Error Code Repair Process :

OBD C2301 code and tailpipe testing are two different approaches to identify vehicles in need of repair. The OBD system looks for broken or malfunctioning emissions control components and egrv circuit malfunction, while tailpipe tests sample a vehicle's exhaust to see if it is above or below certain prescribed limits. Given the robust nature of today's emissions control components, it is entirely possible for an individual component to C2301 malfunction without leading to an immediate increase in emissions at the tailpipe. In such cases, other components (like the catalyst) can temporarily compensate for the part that is broken however, these other components can only do double duty for so long before they, too, begin to malfunction. In addition, OBD also monitors for C2301 and other malfunctions in the fuel system problems that traditional tailpipe tests were not designed to identify. Most state and local areas also include a gas cap pressure test as part of an emission inspection.

Common Causes of Citroen C C2301 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code C2301 is the failure of EGRV Circuit Malfunction, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty spark plug (s)

C2301 is a kind of Chassis Trouble Code

Diagnosing chassis noises can be one of the most frustrating problems technicians face. Fortunately, manufacturers have engineered noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnostic techniques and equipment to find the source of the noise.
